Riot: Thoughts on Aatrox?

Is there any slight kit changes to Aatrox that you guys are thinking about? His kit right now is okay.... for season 3. I just feel like his passive is a negative more than a positive. Once you lose the passive and revive; your health is diminished, the stacks on your W are gone, the attack speed buff is gone; crippling your damage output, and your opponent has brought back their cooldowns, regained whatever HP lost and probably have one of their allies with them against you.

[OPINION] His abilities don't really comprehend the play-style of the game. His Q is great if you can actually land the knock-up directly on the opponent. His W is fantastic to use actually, only problem is that you can't keep the stacks when your passive is "popped" and revived. His E is not so mid/late game friendly. His R is a great tool, but not so much when cc and damage output isn't fantastic.

In his lore it talks about how his blade drinks the blood of felled warriors to empower Aatrox. But in-game he has to kill his HP for his passive. And his abilities don't comprehend any of what his blade does in his lore.

Aatrox to me has the potential to be the Demon of League of Legends. But he just seems so weak and frail to be viable. Especially with a lot of item changes lately. Make him as glorious as he was in his lore?
